While crown eagles circled the skies
out on life's open road
her spirit's harkened
in the rains of yesterdays' desires
It has run the length
of a tomorrow's expectations
It has journeyed the detours
of hopes delayed
It has travelled the picturesque miles
and like fine wine
emerged refined, wisdom gains
of disappointments and strife
Femicide no man has survived
and like a work of oriental art
before the table of her oppressors
lethal cowards in men's cloaks,
open as the road, her destiny
today unfolds
as whirlwinds bow
to her inner knowing
Written in the stars,
descending a lineage of sheroes
she's the rising incense
in the corridors of dreams
elusive and devoid of gravity
in the adversity suspending vacuum,
fortitude, propels her liberal rebirth
of a people's awakening
Her one hand curtails the storm behind
while the other rocks the cradle of peace
Redefining a defiance, vivid
in the proceeding rainbow, She
is a woman
of immortal essence

(glad to know
there's still some genuine: Men
around
for me to learn from, thank you
for choosing to share, wise Poet)
a Great write!
(if you're free, check out one of my older write's
titled:
'adorned, with their petals of thorns', on page 6
so you can see my feeble attempt
at writing, similar themes
to what, you so eloquently voiced in your pitch-perfect poem today)
Very kind words from you, L.B. That the piece resonates with such a writer as yourself can only serve as encouragement. I'll be sure to check yours out as well. Ta.
a real joy to read Garth .. and quite excellent too sir ..... Neville
Thank you sir
A literary roller coaster, and I like roller coasters.
I am happy you like it Nicholas. Thank you very much.
This could be, Joan of Arc, formidable in life, betrayed by man.
Isn't it strange how you don't see women starting wars. Is it because they're too busy doing real work..
Yes it is sir. Isn't it even stranger that the world has not woken up to that reality yet? Or is it just the world powers that be, that aren't willing to acknowledge this truth and what it stands for? I don't know.
